A pound a week!

Monday, November 26, 2012

So, this is how I started the day! Nice, eh?
I have decided on a new goal, today, after weighing (ick/ ugh) and measuring myself. My goal, is to lose a pound a week. Yes, I could weep over remembering my size 5/6 when I first got married:::::sigh:::::::but, let's face it, 27 years and 3 children and here I am today, happy but NOT a 5/6. So, back to my pound a week. Yes, I have hit the "refresh" button and resetting thinking, doing and accomplishing. So that means that in 16 weeks when my anniversary rolls around, I will have lost at least 16 pounds and kept to my new goal, which, actually means that I have without thinking about it have set an additional goal. Woohoo!
Here is more of my photo journal.
Went for a walk:




Had a green drink/juice for dinner:

September.......

Sunday, September 02, 2012

Well, I have not blogged in a while and kinda been on "taking care of me" hiatus. But that is part of taking of me for me. Where I am not worrying and fretting, just can't do it for as long of a time. Guess I was overwhelmed with "things".

Gonna work on my goals/plans for September.

Will keep you posted. Yay me!

I find it hard to blog, too. But it's a nice way to invite encouragement from friends. Life is difficult in this old system. Critical times hard to deal with will be here, right? So, I find dealing with "today" is all I can do most days. Don't think too far ahead; just do your best. No one can ask for more. Claude xo Report Inappropriate Comment
